Last Weekend’s Show on Air and Space Travel

We had a fun show this past weekend talking about innovations with the Air Travel and Consumer Space Travel industries. This show was a follow-up to the big fly-in in Oshkosh Wisconsin which happened around the beginning of August. This fly-in is absolutely amazing and is something I plan on attending on-of-these-years(tm) real-soon(tm).

Anyhow, we were able to find out about space exploration by private citizens, tourists, who will be able to experience weightlessness in space for a few minutes and see the true curvature of the earth. Very cool, even if you don’t have the $100,000 it’ll take to grab one of these first seats.

This past weekend’s we talked about:
